End of Term Report by Cora and Nevada


Room 10
For the past 11 weeks Rm10 has been successful in sport winning both the Soft ball and ultimate Frisbee cup. We have just finished our syndicate sport and with Rm10 group A at first place with a total of 31 points and Rm10 group B with a total of 30 points, unfortunately   Rm10 did not Win the tug of war cup but we will win the next trophy.

At the start of the term we were working on what a memoir is, a memoir is one event from your life  that you turn into a short story, the process was not easy but eventually the whole class finished at a   high standard.  

In science we have been learning about the 4 states of matter there is solids, liquids, gasses and plasma. One of the main focuses for our lessons is burning candles , we melted the candles ,we burned the candles , but most of all we observed the candles. We have learnt that in order for a candle to burn it needs 3   key ingredients they are oxygen, fuel and heat, the fuel for the candle is the wax, the oxygen for the candle is air and the heat for the candle is the flame.

 Rm10 is lucky enough to be able to have access to sumdog, spellodrome, study ladder, epals and drop it to me.   As you all might know sumdog is a maths game to help with subtraction, addition, multiplication and division.Spellodrome is a spelling website to help with spelling. Study ladder is another spelling website.  Epals allows us to message people from overseas like from Russia and USA. Drop it to me allows Rm10 to do homework and send files safely to Mrs Puke  at home saving time at school.

As part of our social studies for next term we had to do an information report about a place on the way to Waiouru. Yesterday most of Rm10 had the time of their lives because we were at the Waiouru army museum. We learnt a lot about Anzacs in Gallipoli and how world war one started. We will be learning a lot more about Anzac day and the significance of the red poppy. After wards we travelled to the armed constabulary baths AKA AC baths .
